Default update.... you folks will be proud of me

wanted to update you folks I did get my 4 tires for my trailer.I got E load radials. not mounted yet but should be fine. Here is the good part I got the 4 tires on monday 5/30/12 and I took them to my buddies shop to get mount them but he very busy so I left them. In the meantime on tuesday my daugter called the following day Tuesday 5/31/12 to tell me that 8 tires were delivered to the house and they are sitting in front of the garage.So I asked her to tell me the size and manu.I was excepting tires and rims for the 94 buick but I already got the trailer tires. Well guess what another set of trailer tires . So I called the vendor and they said no you only got 4 tires and charged for 4 tires. well I insisted, and had to talk to three different people to explain that I got an extra set of tires and did not want them and that I did not get charged for them ?????
I think I did my part, I think they are sending a RMA to get them back,
WOW ???????

Default Are tires ST rated ?

Are your tires ST rated ?

Note that the speed limit is 65 m.p.h.

That means you should limit your speed to 65 m.p.h. or less
while towing - going faster will cause heat build up and lead to
tire breakdown from the inside out.

Make sure you have a spare in good condition that is a radial.

Default spare

Thanks,
I have a spare that is brand new, non radial.
I hope that will work for short trips to the track ?

Any spare is better than none, just don't keep it on too long.

Radial & bias tires don't mix
